"Staff were super nice and the location was quiet and accessible by tube. The room I stayed in was clean, it had a sink in the room, lights and charging ports for each person, and lockers. Bathrooms were clean too. It’s a simple place so don’t expect anything extravagant. The pillows are slightly uncomfortable but if you need a clean and safe place to stay for a few nights this is perfect. "
